Material Local Overrides

[Luther76]

Hi All,
is there any chance to use the "local overiddes" of "Material geometry node" with Octane?

I'm tryng to change the color of a glossy material, but it seem to me that dosen't works.

Any suggestion.

Thank you!

Sorry, I'm afraid that the "material_override" attribute is not supported yet by Octane. It is a planned feature, but the core code support the materials override is not ready yet.

Thanks,

Hi Juanjo,
any news about that?
If not, in your opinion is possible to do something like that in other way?
I have to texture many packs with different textures and I don't want to create many materials

Thank you.

Nope, not yet. Sorry. In any case, if you work with Octane 2020.1 perhaps you could use float attributes to drive one or more texture or material mixer nodes and avoid the use of several materials.

Thanks,

Sorry, this is not possible. The node selector is not a standard Octane node. It is a tool added on the plugin side to physically rewire node trees at the scene extraction time, so it can't be driven by any parameter.
